I think this may be the way to go. The intent of WSME is admirable
(the multiprotocol stack) but the execution leads to unwarranted
complexity.
I think a framework more specifically dedicated to JSON APIs, or
even just being "webby" and correct would be better. Something
_much_ simpler and _much_ more aligned with WSGI.
Amen. Honestly, I never liked WSME and now that projects are no longer
supporting XML, I don't see any reason to continue using it. Like you
say, it adds way too much unnecessary complexity to the API framework,
IMHO. Better to just use a simple JSONSchema framework (using the
jsonschema Python library) to do input validations and have schema
definitions in JSONSchema instead of random attribute factories like:
name = wsme.wsattr(wtypes.text, mandatory=True)
in model classes tightly coupled via @wsme_pecan.wsexpose decorators to
controller class methods.
One thing I would _love_ is for us to get away from object dispatch
and use explicit routing. Because it's, uh, explicit. But that's a
personal preference.
Personally, I prefer the Falcon approach to routing, which is what I
call "explicit object dispatch" ;)
class ThingsResource:
def on_get(self, req, resp, user_id):
... do some stuff
resp.set_header('X-Powered-By', 'Small Furry Creatures')
resp.status = falcon.HTTP_200
things = ThingsResource()
app = falcon.API()
app.add_route('/{user_id}/things', things)

Or - as you bring up - perhaps our use of this has wound up having been
a mistake and it's time to cut the cords. The original intent was to get
all of openstack using the same framework, but this has not come to
pass. :(
Right. For various reasons, including resistance to the Pecan/WSME
framework in general.
Was there any hope that would be fulfilled by having everyone on the
same framework other than "it's more tidy"?
Not sure :(
